He turned to Feng Xun and smiled. “My daughter doesn’t know what she’s talking about. Young Lord Feng, please don’t be mad. Everyone, just ignore her. Don’t take her too seriously. After all, even if Feng Wu can sell such information, she doesn’t know the others that well. What can she possibly sell?”
“Father!” Sefiro stomped her foot.
The chieftain had rendered all her efforts futile.
Seeing that Chieftain Senal was being relatively reasonable, Feng Xun didn’t try to hit Sefiro again.
“Feng Wu, how did you make such rapid progress?”
Since Chieftain Senal had scolded his own daughter, Emperor Wu had to do something as well.
Feng Wu smiled. “I made breakthroughs. That was it. I broke through my bottleneck and moved on to the next level.”
Emperor Wu didn’t know what to say.
Jun Wuxia said, “Feng Wu! You can’t talk to His Majesty like that!”
Zuo Qingyu said, “Feng Wu, you made three breakthroughs in a row. Barely anyone has done that! You must be hiding something from us!”
Feng Wu shrugged. “Is it that difficult to make three breakthroughs in a row?”
The others all nodded. “Yes, it’s very, very difficult!”
Feng Wu shrugged and said, “But in the six months since I left Northern Border City, I rose from a Level 1 Spiritual Master to a Level 7 Spiritual Elder. During this time, I made two, three, and four breakthroughs in a row many times. I don’t think it’s all that difficult at all.”
Everyone immediately fell silent.
Feng Wu’s words rendered them all speechless.
They had all forgotten one thing.
Feng Wu’s cultivation ability had been destroyed once, and she had restarted only after she returned to the imperial capital from Northern Border City.
It was just as she said: Having more than one breakthrough at a time wasn’t difficult for her at all.
Everyone looked at one another, and none of them knew what to say.
The second prince stared at Feng Wu with a gloomy look in his eyes.
Just then, there was a rumble.
The ground shook violently!
An ear-splitting thunderclap almost tore the sky open.
Formidable spiritual essence gathered came at them from all directions.
Tombs rose out of the ground.
“The tombs!”
“The tombs have shown up! Our chance is here!”
“Even if we can’t obtain the seed of the spirit source, we’ll still find a lot of opportunities among the tombs!”
“Quickly! The door to the tombs is open!”
“Based on my past experience, the door will only open for 10 seconds! It’ll close after that!”
“Let’s go!”
…
Immediately, all the youngsters of the Junwu Empire and Senal Grassland started running toward the tombs.
Feng Wu wanted to move as well, but at that moment, a formidable power seemed to tie her down, and she couldn’t even lift a finger.
“Who’s doing this?” Feng Wu asked the white fairy.
The white fairy frowned. “I’m searching. One moment.”
Feng Wu was furious.
The things these people would do to stop her! She had almost reached the tombs, but they had used such a mean trick to keep her away.
She wanted to move, but her shoes seemed stuck to the ground.
Feng Wu thought that if her shoes were stuck, she could probably take them off and walk away on bare feet.
But how was she going to take off her shoes when she couldn’t lift a finger?
“Xiao Wu —”
Feng Xun and Xuan Yi showed up on either side of her at that moment.
